Uranus

Breakthroughs and revolution. The planet Uranus, sky deity of the Romans, was discovered between the American and French revolutions and it symbolizes our capacity to go beyond limits. It is about inventiveness, originality and independence but also unpredictability. The Prometheus archetype associated with the planet Uranus correlates with that stage in the archetypal birth process in which one is suddenly liberated from the constrictions of the birth canal and experiences sudden freedom, awakening, new life, new identity and a radical expansion of horizons: Prometheus Unbound.

As the harbinger of great change, the presence of Uranus in a dream may signify that forces of change are at hand. Much like a tornado hitting your house. Uranus may initiate a crisis that causes you to reevaluate what is important in life. Being fired from your job or breaking up with a girlfriend or boyfriend may bnng about a needed change to realign the personality with more serious endeavors. Uranus may also be pan of a prophetic dream indicating earth changes or political turbulence arising out of the collective unconscious.

Depth Psychology: This planet represents your ingenuity, intuition, creative spirit, pioneering spirit, and reform-mindedness. This energy can open horizons and safeguard technical or scientific systems.

The negative side of Uranus can cause restlessness, resistance, and/or fanaticism.
